Waiting for Santa 1940

By this time.. across the pond.. my grandbabies are safely tucked up in their beds waiting for Santa to arrive.

For us everything is ready for tomorrow.. The food is prepped as much as it can be.. the gifts have been delivered and ours under the tree. So there's time for a quick.. last minute "recipe" before the madness begins..

I saw this creative way of serving Ocean Spray Cranberry Sauce in a November 1941 edition of Better Homes and Gardens Magazine... and I had to give it a try..

They turned out so pretty and festive ...and I will serve them on my Christmas table..

although I won't be putting them on pineapple slices..

So now we are off to church for our Christmas Eve Service and to sing carols by candlelight..

and amongst all the hustle and bustle of the last few weeks.. 

lets take a moment and remember the true reason for the season

Happy Christmas Dear Friends
